Question

The denominator of a rational number is greater than its numerator by 10. if the numerator is increased by 19 and the denominator is decreased by 1 , the number obtained is 3 by 2. Find the rational number.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rational number be x

Therefore, rational no. is: x/x+10

Given, 19 added to numerator and 1 subtracted from denominator gives 2/3

Therefore, equation is:

x+19/x+10-1=2/3

which on solving gives -55

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the rational number be x

Therefore, rational no. is: x/x+10

Given, 19 added to numerator and 1 subtracted from denominator gives 2/3

Therefore, equation is:

x+19/x+10-1=2/3

which on solving gives -55
